4 years ago today
It was four years ago today that life changed drastically for us. And not in a good way. We were in a pretty happy place at the time, having found out a week before that Christa was pregnant with our third child, and just wondering how we'd handle and cope with three small children. But it was four years ago today that Nate was diagnosed with cancer.

Now here we are 4 years later. Nate is having fun in school, is currently practicing for his part in the school play, he's taking electric guitar lessons and is just signed up for his third season of little league. He has become an avid reader, a big sports fan, a video game addict, and a pal to his brother and sister. I know I'm so overdue to post pictures and updates. But life has been good.

Here is my journal entry for January 22nd, 2004. And here is my message announcing our bad news, that I sent to family and friends, that night 4 years ago.

We're so thankful for how well Nate was done. And we're so proud of our family, and how well we've pulled through the whole ordeal. And we're happy that cancer is no longer the first thing we think of every day. 18 months off treatment. And counting...
